14. You know, I can see Paradisa secrets pissing off people who love the RP and hate the RP....

But wank has really sunk to a new low when Paradisa secrets start peeving people who have nothing to do with the RP. Seriously, you people are only doing yourselves a disservice by giving your RP community a bad rep with uninvolved people like me.

Although... now that I went and looked at the comm, I'm a bit put-off by it as is. I'll give you that everything is very pretty, and I don't mean any offense to the players, but mods... "Panfandom RPG"? Seriously, you're not allowed to be pretentious when your application is so tiny, and, on top of it all, I'm looking through the applications post and am seeing that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE HAS BEEN REJECTED. EVER.

Jesus, do applications even get read anymore? Are there even standards anymore, or is having a huge cast list all that matters nowadays? Now I see what those secrets a while back were talking about. That is, both the one about short apps being a pisser and the one about bad players in your RP. Geez.

Anyway, don't want to cause wank myself, so in case anyone responds, just letting you know I won't be responding back. :]

It's pretty sad when you let a positive message get to you and that would of probably been the last you've ever heard of the game here.

I don't believe the mods were being pretendous either, as much as as certain other RPs are 'Original Characters' and was formally something else entirely.

There's always room for improvement in a positive setting if one is accepted. Some people aren't comfortable with long applications nor are they grammar nazis. If critiqued properly and are all civil beings about these matters, instead of going about in a roundabout way, we wouldn't have this wank to begin with.

A small application can say more words than a long one that goes on for two pages with needless details that should be discovered instead of told.

Sometimes, three paragraphs can mean more than an entire essay.

:] I'm glad you won't be responding back.

I'm not involved in any of this and don't want to be, but how is "panfandom RPG" pretentious at all? Just curious.

The word "panfandom" can sound a little like they're forcing the two-dollar words and trying to be pretentious instead of using the simpler "multi-fandom".

:D Just jumping in for someone who won't be responding, because I can see how it could be interpreted that way.

Here :)

Massive but not pointless application, lots of rejections.

And overall, I agree completely.
